BACKGROUND: City of Bozeman Parking Division staff held community engagement session with residents of the University Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) and the Bozeman High School Permit District during Winter 2021. At the time, residents asked for more transparency in the budgeting process for permits in their districts. Staff proposed formulating a new budget for how permit fees are allocated to cover expenditures in the district. The permit fees would only cover the costs of administering the district, not the cost of enforcing the district. Using permit fees for administration and citation fees for enforcement is considered best practice in the parking industry. This year is the first year staff prepared a new budget for the district. It is included in the packet for the Board’s consideration. RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT DISTRICT FEES: Staff is recommending the Transportation Advisory Board leaves permit fees unchanged for FY2023. As reflected in the budget presented, permit sales exceeded staff’s initial estimates for the 2021-2022 permit cycle. The increased sales of permits was a welcome development. For several years before, staff had tracked declining permit sales. The uptick in permit sales is attributed to a well organized neighborhood association that assists in promoting permit sales, finance staff distributing renewal notices in a timely manner, and 33 Page 2 of 2 parking enforcement officers providing consistent enforcement in the district especially when permit renewals occur. For the cost side of the budget, staff included personnel costs for the parking manager and finance staff who administer the district. Parking staff process more than 2,000 applications for parking permits in only a few weeks during renewal season. Additionally, staff routinely assists residents with parking holidays, permit renewals, and anything else that might arise in relation to the district. Finally, costs also include postage related to mailing the renewal notices and a portion of the insurance and internal overhead costs the parking division incurs. Staff was able to eliminate the cost of a subscription fee for the software used to administer permits through the transition to Passport. The fee for permits is now included at the time of permit sale in a convenience fee of $1.75 for permits renewed on an annual basis. CONCLUSION: Staff has concluded based on the costs, permit sales, and projected revenue into next year that the permit fees for both the University Residential Parking Permit District and the High School District remain the same as last year. 34
